Looking for a loader

I've ran loaders for years, but not had alot of experience with smaller loaders except for skid steers. I've got a 280 JD skid steer that will move a mountain and that's why I got the call for these bsmt excavations. I'm really leaning towards a 941 with a good undercarrage. Maybe a little slow, but it seems to a good, reliable package.

I've searched the JD G and have heard the horror stories about the trannies, but the G seems to have overcomed that? I am a JD fan, as my dealer offers pretty good c/s.

The Komatsu seems prolly to be a little small for the application....I would really like to hear opinions on this.

Is there a good resource for specs on loaders to compare models with? Weights? Bucket capacities? Speeds? etc. Thanks for your help!!

I am keeping my skid-steers...and your right, that 280 will definately do the job, its fast, and powerful...up until I get into frost, god forbid..rock, and its not too good at clearing lots. I need to stay in the 20K# range and a 939 or 555g would fit the bill nicely. I mentioned the 941 because they can be had in this area for cheap. Even counting putting into some $$ for wear items.

Thanks again...
